Korean TV Shows

Hey there,

These days, I like to spend my free times watching Korean TV shows. These are some of the TV shows that I watch. Which one is your favorite? Enjoy : D

 

1. Runningman (런닝맨)

♥This TV show airs on Sundays. 7 permanent members are Yoo Jae Seok, Ji Seok Jin, Haha, Gary, Lee Kwangsoo, Song Ji Hyo, and Kim Jong Kook. Running man was originally about taking member’s name tags off their back and getting them out, but these days, contents got really creative. Guests (Kpop artists/celebrities/comedians) appear almost every episodes. In their most recent episode, they were in Dubai. In another episodes, they did food missions.

 

2. Laws of the Jungle (정글의 법칙)

♥This TV show airs on Fridays. Members, with their leader, Kim Byung Man, go to different places around the world, especially jungles, deserts, and rivers/lakes. They have to survive in wilderness. They build their own house by cutting trees, find their food, and visit some of the tribes living there.

Only 11 trainees can get the spots, and they are ranked A to F based on their skills. They also do team missions, and you get to vote for your favorite trainee. Jeon Somi from JYP entertainment (appeared in TV show “Sixteen”), Kim Se Jeong from Jellyfish entertainment, and Choi Yoo Jeong from Fantagio entertainment are the most popular ones among the others in Korea.
